The Students' Association elections are over, the results are in and candidates finally can put away their megaphones, Snuggie YouTube videos and "bridge the gap" buttons. But while winning candidates can take a break from campaigning, their work is far from complete. Congratulations to you: President Charles Gaines, Vice President Tony Godfrey ... [Read More…]

It is proud of its mission statement - "to educate students for Christian service and leadership throughout the world." This statement is ... [Read More…]
Student body must choose admirable leaders
When voting for the Executive Officers Election begins Tuesday, we, the students, will have more than the opportunity to cast a ballot for Students' Association Congress officers. We will have the opportunity to raise our voices and give a clear mandate to the future student leaders of ACU. Undeniably, the 2008-09 SA Congress has had a turbulent ... [Read More…]
Burgner, Godfrey, Cochran best for SA

SA Congress should revise duties to better campus
Forty-four students discussed, debated and voted during a Wednesday meeting last January, deciding how much money to give 30 designated student organizations for the semester. The funds these students disbursed did not come from grants, fundraisers or even their own pockets. The money came from us, the more than 4,400 undergraduate students who ... [Read More…]

Rechartered Trojans offer alternative experience
No pain, no entry. The words headlined the Optimist's front-page coverage of fall pledging and are true for almost every social club on campus - every club but Trojans, that is. Because of a lack of familiarity, Trojans rechartered last September without causing much of a stir. The "hoods" - sisterhood and brotherhood - seem to be among the most ... [Read More…]

SA Congress must strive for maximum productivity
The Students' Association Congress is not a high school student government. Both represent students to an administration. But collegiate student governments are more than a few friendly faces who organize field days, decorate school dances or buy students pizza; they strive to improve student life. Without the SA Congress, students do not have a ... [Read More…]
Abilene offers unique entertainment opportunities
Students often leave town for the weekend because they think they can find nothing to do in Abilene. It is even more common for students to dread returning to Abilene. The streetlights turn off at night, the city looks fast asleep by 9 p.m. and the "to-do's" do not even compare to places like Austin or San Antonio. But face it, we do not live in ... [Read More…]
